Chapter 5 - Call me Sherlock Holmes.
~~~
"Ouch, that hurt." I moaned leaning on the bed, eyes closed with pain.
"It is supposed to." My 'fake' boyfriend smirked happily, lying beside me.
"Next time you find some shock-giving gum, try it on someone else." I hissed, slapping his arm.
He grinned, putting the gum stick box in the cover. The prank was actually stupid and old, I just didn't see it coming. So when he offered me a gum from his five gum stick box I happily accepted it. Because well who doesn't like gum? But when I tried to pull it I ended up getting mildly electrocuted. And damn it, it hurt!
"Does your mother know I'm here?" Colton asked, chuckling when he saw my pout of annoyance.
I snorted. "Of course not. She'll kill you first then teach me the ethics of life and self-respect and how all guys are jerks and then kill me. And by the way why are you even here?"
He had suddenly shown up 20 minutes earlier at my window while I was finding some good YouTube videos to watch and I still didn't know the reason for his unexpected presence.
He shrugged. "I was bored."
I gave him a flat look. "So? My house isn't a brothel."
He returned my flat look. "Could have fooled me."
"You have to come back in a few hours anyway for the dinner with mom." I reminded, slapping his arm from touching my iPhone. "That's an iPhone, not a wePhone."
"I am your boyfriend."
"Fake." I corrected, unplugging the earphones from my phone, there goes my chance of listening to Ryan Higa's puns.
"But boyfriend." He retorted, standing and staring around my room.
I shifted uncomfortably. Suddenly it seemed that our relationship had reached another personal level. He was looking at the transparent purple curtains that half hid the window and the small bamboo plant on the railing. The flower paintings hung just above my huge soft bed. The dark purple rug hadn't been cleaned in ages. Cupboards that had photos of Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp stuck on them with a few Disney princesses.
"I was small." I justified, turning red in embarrassment.
He smiled. "I have photos of Jessica Alba too."
He stared at our reflections in the huge mirror on the cupboard, him standing in all his glory in a dark blue tee and light blue low waist jeans and me, sitting on the bed with a pillow wearing a pink tank top and black shorts.
"Why is your mirror so huge?"
I bit my lip, my cheeks colouring up more. "Uh, I take pics?"
He looked into my eyes through the mirror, raising his eyebrows. "Really?"
I shrugged, looking at my lap. "Yeah, most people have it. Mirror selfies."
"Wow. Never really understood the trend of selfies. My forehead looks big when I take it." Colton muttered, unconsciously pressing his fingers on his forehead.
I bit my lip from replying sarcastically.
He glanced around looking at the small plastic cabinet that held around 50 books and 20 DVDs. "Any good movies?"
"I have Frozen?" I usually just downloaded them from Torrent.
"No! Anna gives me a headache."
I chuckled lightly, leaving my bed and picking up cushions from the side.
"Why so many cushions? There are around five." He asked curiously.
I laughed awkwardly. "I uh love to cuddle."
He smirked, winking at me. "I am more comfortable. Wanna cuddle while watching Star Wars?"
I laughed, shaking my head. "Nope, my pillows are good enough."
"Whom are you talking to Racheal?" A teasing voice came from behind the locked making us freeze.
"Shit! Shit!" I cussed, looking around frantically for a place to hide Colton.
"Is that your brother Josh?" Colton asked in a high voice and I was sure people in France could hear it.
I slapped his shoulder. "Shut up! Want to get us killed?" I hissed pulling him towards my cupboard.
"Racheal." Josh shouted in a sing-song voice. "I'm calling mom."
"No!" I screamed.
Colton broke free of my hold on his arm and walked to the door.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing? Hastings!" I hissed, running after him.
"Shut up Smith."
I wanted to smash his face on the huge mirror in my room but couldn't because Colton opened the door and my arrogant brother would be an eye witness. Darn eyes!
"Hey, Josh." Colton greeted, giving him the man nod.
Josh returned the nod, smirking at me. "Hey, Colton."
Colton leaned sumptuously against the open door locking his ankles. "I heard you got into a fight with Derrick Rome."
My jaw fell on the ground as I saw Josh's whole demeanor change. His arms went limp against the sides, eyes wide with shock and tongue-tied inside an open mouth. Well so much for calling mom.
"Josh? Again?" I asked in disbelief.
He gulped, blinking repeatedly. "I uh-"
"And you got detention after school for two days." Colton interrupted, clearly enjoying knowing these details.
"That's why you weren't home when I came back yesterday." I uttered, putting my hands on my hips. "And you lied about Matt being hurt and you had to get him back home."
Josh shrugged sheepishly. "Sorry?"
I grinned wickedly. "Tell that to mom."
"No! No! Come on you can't do that. You are my sister." He protested, coming inside the room as he sent a glare to the smirking Colton.
"You don't tell mom that Colton was here and I don't tell about detention." I offered, knowing he had no other option. He very well knew if mom came to know he had been in another fight, she wouldn't hesitate to put him under lock and key, literally.
"Ugh!" Josh groaned. "Fine but not a word. No hints too."
"Baby brother you are in no position to argue." I warned blowing him a kiss.
"I hate you." Gritting his teeth he walked out of the door. He stopped to face Colton. "And you too. Bloody Know-it-all faggot."
"Josh." I chastised mockingly. "Language. Mother always says 'You are what comes out of your mouth'."
Josh flipped us off. Walking to his room all the while swearing unheard profanes under his breath.
Colton came inside, shutting the door behind me. We stared at each other before bursting out in laughter. Stomach-clutching-toe-curling-eyes-watering-insanely-awesome laughter.
After ten minutes of rolling and laughing on the floor. I took a few deep breaths to calm down. "How did you know about the fight?"
He winked at me. "The walls talk to me."
I chuckled, climbing on the bed and laying on my stomach. "Thanks, Hastings."
After a few seconds, I felt a presence beside me and saw Colton laying on his back, looking at me. "Pleasure Smith."
.
I groaned at the consistent knocking. "Go away." I muttered, snuggling into the hard pillow. I frowned my pillow was never so hard. I shrugged, at least it felt good and smelled good. Wait! Smell?
I shot up to face a smirking Colton. Was I seriously just cuddling Colton Hastings? Darn it!
"Idiot." I hissed, pulling my tank down and throwing a pillow at him. He graciously dodged it.
"Racheal! Are you dead in there?" Josh screamed, banging his fist on the door.
I jumped at the sudden noise. "No! Mom's here?"
"Yeah an hour back. It's 7.30! Hurry before she comes knocking." He warned and I heard his footfalls.
"Shit!" I cursed, grabbing blue jeans and a plain red top. "You couldn't wake me up?"
"Nope. You really are a great cuddler."
I blushed, remembering the proximity we were in. I had my leg around his and my head on his chest, his arm was around my waist and lips so near my forehead. I shook my head, blushing 50 shades of red. I glanced at Colton, standing in all his glory with messed hair and tee and a bit of drool at the corner of the lips. "You need to clean up." I told before entering the bathroom and locking it behind me.
I heard him shuffle as he came to the door. "You can change in front of me, I'm your boyfriend."
I rolled my eyes, splashing water on my face. "Fake Hastings, fake." After that, I heard nothing.
I changed into decent clothes and stepped out. Colton was on the bed, looking through my photo albums. I ran and grabbed them shoving them back in the drawer. "What are you still doing here? You can't go down from my room. I'm grounded."
"So I have to use the tree branch again?" He sighed, wrinkling his nose at the thought.
I nodded, pushing him to the window. "Yes now bye. Mom will already be pissed thinking you're so late so think of a good reason."
"Good luck kiss?"
"No. bye." I watched him pout and then grab the branch, slowing climbing down until he jumped, landing on his legs. How was he comfortable doing this, I’ll never know. I sighed as he walked away towards the front door. Phew safe.
Shutting the window I opened my door, taking deep breaths.
"Hey, mom." I greeted, entering the kitchen.
"You're late." She stated icily, looking up from the newspaper she was reading while sitting on the dining table with all covered food at the center. Josh was next to her, texting on his phone with a huge smirk.
"I was sleeping. Sorry." I sat on my chair hesitantly.
"And so was your boyfriend? I don't like him. If he thinks money can substitute for punctuality then you better leave him." She put down the paper, looking at me seriously.
"Oh no! He-" just then the bell rang and I sighed in relief. "That would be him." I ran to open the door, closely followed by mom and Josh.
"I'll open." Mom said just as I touched the handle.
I stepped back, gulping. Looks like the case went bad. "Be a nice mom."
"Don't order me."
"I wasn't-" but she had already opened the door. There standing was Colton Hastings in all his glory, with his huge million-dollar smile that made him the perfect model to promote any toothpaste advertisement.
"A very good evening Mrs. Hastings." He greeted, removing a bunch of fresh white daffodils from behind his back. "I thoroughly apologize for the delay but my father had given me some important work plus it's not easy to find fresh daffodils. Your choice in flowers is quite exquisite ma'am."
I don't know who was more surprised. My mother, me, or Josh. We were all staring at him with open mouths. Mom was the first to recover. Her icy look and flat smile had instantly faded into admiring eyes and a pleasing smile. She took the bunch of daffodils delicately with a bright smile as her eyes roamed over my boyfriend and they gleamed with appreciation.
Looks like no one is immune to Colton Hastings's charms.
"Thank you. Please call me Diana. And how did you know I love daffodils?" mom asked, shutting the door as he entered. Josh was scowling knowing Colton had definitely won this round.
"Racheal speaks a lot of you Diana." Colton answered, sending me a discrete wink.
I rolled my eyes. I hadn't even told him my favourite flower forget about mom's.
Mom looked at me with a blissful smile. "That's sweet."
I smiled back, feeling a little guilty. But if this was going to reduce mom's anger towards me then I was more than okay with it.
She put the daffodils in the flower vase and added water. "They are beautiful." She admired, touching the white petals in awe.
"Just as you." Colton deftly answered, making colour rise on my mom's cheeks.
I and Josh looked at each other with raised brows. We couldn't remember the last time she had blushed, it seemed ages ago.
"You better hope mom doesn't grab him for herself." Josh whispered.
I rolled my eyes. "Please, mom wouldn't do that. Besides -"
"Please have a seat, I'll start to serve." Mom interrupted the pink in her cheeks still evident.
"I'll just wash my hands." Colton said, starting towards the stairs but stopping suddenly. "Uh, where is it?"
"I'll show him." I ran to him, grinning. Of course, he knew where it was but that would seem suspicious. We entered my room and he went into the washroom.
"How did you know my mom's favourite flowers?" I probed, that question had been killing me since he gave mom those.
"I saw a few of her wedding pictures, it was decorated with only daffodils and some roses and she was even holding a bouquet of daffodils. I figured they were her favourite. Judging by her reaction I was right." He replied wiping his hands on the blue napkin.
"Wow. Impressive. And how did you get them so soon?"
"People living two houses away from here grow them."
I gasped at him. "You stole them!"
He shook his head. "I borrowed them-" he corrected. "-for infinity."
"That is stealing." I said flatly.
"Depends on how you see it. I see the more positive version."
I sighed as my eyeballs went upwards. "You're an idiot."
He winked as we walked downstairs. "And your favourite is blue and purple Orchids."
"How did you know that?" I gaped at him, not many knew it. People thought it was Rose.
"Call me Sherlock Holmes."
The dinner was splendid, excluding when Colton would compliment mom and she would blush like a 16 year old and Josh would kick me under the table, wiggling his eyebrows at me with sheer confidence that mom had a crush on Hastings. And at times even I had started to give that absurd idea a thought.
Just when Colton was going to leave after a 2-hour long dinner and tons of honeyed comments and pink cheeks, mom grinned and declared that the whole Smith family would be attending the Hastings party. "It would be such an honour. I would love to meet the parents who raised such a sweet child."
If only my poor mother knew how sweet he actually is. He is blackmailing your daughter, mom!
"The pleasure would be all ours." Colton said, smiling at the praise. "I look forward to meeting you Diana." They hugged as I stared on. Even we hadn't hugged, of course, cuddling was unintentional.
"Josh." He gave a nod to him and Josh nodded back, clearly pleased that Colton was leaving.
"I'll show him out." I said, smiling at mom and walking in front of him as we stepped out of the front door. I turned to him with hands over my hips. "Now Hastings-"
"You just had something on your ass." He interjected.
I twisted trying to look at my jeans-clad butt. "What?"
"My eyes."
I gave him a blank look. And this is the Colton Hastings we all know. If my mother were to see this side of his, she would never let me date him. "I knew that was a façade just for my mother."
He grinned proudly. "Now I know where you get that blush from."
Instantly my cheeks reddened and slapped my palms over them. "Bye. I'm going to sleep."
"Can I Slyther-in?"
I stared flatly before bursting out in laughter. "My god! You're never out of pick-up lines, are you?"
He winked. "Nope."
I shook my head. "It's almost 9.30. You should leave."
"Midnight chats?"
I nodded, smiling like a crazy obsessed girl. "Okay."
He leaned closer and I froze, my heart stopping and then beating faster than before, was he going to kiss?
"You have something on your chest."
I sighed with disappointment. "Oh yeah? Your eyes?"
He leaned closer. "Nope. A noddle." He leaned back smugly, happy with my shocked and embarrassed face.
"You are such a jerk." I hissed, slapping his arm in humiliation. "Get away from here."
"As you wish." He winked at me and got on his bike, starting it. "If the pillows don't satisfy you I'm just a text away."
I blushed. "I think they will do."
He shrugged. "Your loss."
I chuckled. "Goodnight Hastings."
"Goodnight Smith." And with that I watched him disappear in the darkness.
I walked back into the house with a giddy smile. Maybe, just maybe Colton Hastings isn't as bad as the rumors paint him to be. Maybe there is more to him than the obnoxious, flirty jerk.
Maybe the bad boy has a good heart.
Oh whom am I kidding, he's a douchebag!

Well, he can be super sweet too.
Hola! Welcome to chapter 6 of A deal with the Devil! Don't be a silent reader! Chapter 6 - It tastes better off you. ~~~ Blackmailer- 'On a scale of 1 to 10, you're a 9 and I'm the 1 you need.' I bit my lip from smiling like a crazy obsessed cat because the Math sir was looking straight at my desk from above his thick black glasses. The second his inquisitive eyes shifted, I typed a reply. 'Please I am a full 10! Don't need to be your lonely 1.' Blackmailer- 'Honey I'm all you need and more.' 'Keep dreaming.' Blackmailer- 'Oh I did, which reminds me you must be tired from all the stuff we did in my dreams yesterday night.' I shook my head, a soft chuckle escaping my mouth. "What got you all high on happiness?" Simone muttered from beside me, curiously looking at who I was texting. I led up a forefinger, indicating her to wait. She blew a strand of her hair angrily. "Fine." 'You mean how I beat you up pathetically? Oh yeah, it was tiring but fun.' I turned to Simone. "I'
Chapter 7, here we are!! Chapter 7 - Oh my my baby, don't be shy. ~~~ The only good thing about Friday is that you can think about the next two days of relaxation and survive them. The bad thing about Friday is that our school held majority submissions on Fridays, which meant detention for almost everyone. And right now around twenty-five senior students were cramped in the detention room because after yesterday's food fight nobody even vaguely remembered anything about the limit sums that needed derivation or something like that. Who even cares? "This is all your fault." Simone hissed at Drew, punching his rib. He winced, shooting her a glare. "How is your poor memory my fault?" "I would have remembered if you hadn't started that dumb fight yesterday." "Oh please! You enjoyed it more than anyone here." Drew said, waving her off. "Don't bore me. Your voice is annoying." "Oh yeah? And Ira's isn't?" She scorned. He gave her a warning glance but didn't reply. I raised my eyebr
Chapter 8 - I like the jealous you. ~~~ 'I am nervous!' Blackmailer- 'Don't be. Should I come to pick you up?' I really wanted to type 'Yes please' instead I ended up typing 'Nope, I'm fine.' Saturday had come all too soon and the ceremony was just in about three hours. My fingers had made it routine to tap my thighs every fifteen seconds. And I felt fidgety all over my newly bathed skin. 'If you say so.' Colton had sent, instantly followed by - 'Supp?' I stared at my purple towel-clad body and the small amount of rose and peach moisturizing body lotion on my left palm. The towel was really old, I had been using it since eighth grade and had somehow developed a connection to it. I felt like no other towel could ever clean my body as my pretty old purple one did. It basically knew every fraction of my body. And because it was so old and my height had grown since then, it barely reached up to mid-thighs, just managing to cover the vital parts. I felt practically naked and suddenl
Chapter 9- Let's go meet my parents. ~~~ You know that feeling when you have known someone for a while and then one day you see that person looking so drop-dead gorgeous that you realize you're totally, madly, irrevocably in love with him? Yeah well, I don't know that. Or so I thought. "Hey." Colton took a step towards my speechless frame. I blinked, taking my eyes away from his chest. He was dressed in an oxford blue tuxedo with a crisp white shirt underneath. The bow tie matched his tux perfectly and made his eyes just pop out. The pants fit him so flawlessly that you'd feel sorry to take it off him and yet here I wanted him to take everything off so I could admire God's flawless beauty. Where was God when I had to receive a good body? "Hey." I replied, my voice sounding breathless. Yes, my hormones were starting to take control! I cleared my throat, glancing away from him before my brain disposed of everything but Colton's image. "Nice hotel. “I muttered meekly. "Yeah, shal
Already 10 chapters down! Good job! Can't wait for you to finish the whole book ;) -- Chapter 10 - Just three months and then done. ~~~ The view from the balcony was breath-taking. The garden was decorated with strings of lights, highlighting the trees and beautiful flowers. A small fountain right in the middle sprouted water and the lights made the water look colorful. There were even a few benches to sit and two of them were occupied by couples talking and kissing. It looked peaceful, contrary to what I was feeling. "Great view huh?" I jumped at the sudden voice before letting out a puff of air through my mouth. I didn't care to turn back, knowing who it was. "Yeah." I agreed, leaning further on the rails. If I fell down now, would I die or just break a few bones? I didn't get the time to find it out. As I felt a presence I had become surprisingly soon accustomed to. His strong scent engulfed me and although I hated perfumes, his was always welcoming. It wasn't strong, it was
Such a fun chapter!! Chapter 11 - Colton Hastings doesn't get jealous. ~~~ Café Day was a small coffee and cupcake shop that sold reasonable yet extremely delicious creamy and unhealthy food. It was exactly what anyone would need on a hot Sunday morning. Starbucks was just a few blocks away from it, still, Café Day was never short of customers. The majority of students preferred Café Day due to its not-so-soaring-the-sky rates. Plus they rarely wrote the names on the cups wrong. It was exactly 9.58 am when I entered the peaceful space. The scent of hot choco-latte and chocolate cakes instantly hit my nose and I breathed it in with delight. Who doesn't love the aroma of coffee? I smiled at the cashier girl who was a junior in our school and worked here on weekends. We had briefly acquainted over the past two years. Though our talk mostly consisted of 'Hey, is there anything good in the canteen?', 'Is there ever?', 'Good point, bye!', 'Yeah ciao!' I considered her one of the few dec
Chapter 12 - Don't have sex in a dead man's house. ~~~ "My anaconda don't, my anaconda don't, my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon." Eva sang, shaking her butt in the air with my purple hairbrush as her mike. Ira didn't need any inducement to join her. She grabbed an empty bottle near her and jumped on the bed next to Eva shaking her butt in sync with her twin. "Boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit. Big dope dealer money, he was getting some coins. Was in blah blah blah blah, but he lives in a palace. Bought me Alexander blah, he was keeping me stylish. Now that's real, real, real. Woohoooo. Join in!" It wasn't long before four crazy girls were inventing new dance steps while singing Nicki Minaj and Meghan Trainor and Justin Bieber. I finally fell on the ground, beside Simone who still had her hand over her mike- a banana. "We can totally rock So You Think You Can Dance." Simone nodded at the twins. "I don't know about us but they definitely can." We stared
Chapter 13 - I'll warn your future husband to not marry you. ~~~ Raul Aita, the Italian billionaire, and Nick's neighbor lived in one of the most luxurious and prestigious places in the state. He owned a series of car brands along with other different electronic companies, in fact, he had recently taken over a famous smartphone company. He was like Mark Zuckerberg, buying whatever he could lay hands on. As of now he had his own Wikipedia (not made by a fan) and was the sole owner of 6 different car brands, four 5 star hotels, quite a few acres of land, and was interested in investing in the textile industry until he was murdered. His house was more like a mansion, and apparently, it wasn't his permanent residence he only came here to relax and when he needed some humans surrounding him. His actual home was on top of a hill away from the dangerous Homo sapiens and pollution. Rumor had it that just the furniture in there cost around a million dollars. Pity he was dead and I wasn't hi
$ChapterChapter 27 - Cast of Magic Mike XXL is effing hot.~~~Colton's POVI stared at my soon-to-be ex-girlfriend and ignored the pang in my heart at the word 'ex'. This was what was for the best, I tried telling myself but the look of pure devotion and authority on Racheal's face made that thought disappear. She looked like a woman on a mission and all I wanted to do was take her right there, right then which I knew wouldn't be appreciated. Stupid hormones!I had gotten so damn excited when she agreed to get a room just a few minutes back and then was nervous when she suddenly stopped, I thought she was regretting her decision of getting intimate with me which was stupid because every girl wants to be intimate with me. But the look of panic and distress on her face made me go crazy with worry. And her next words about knowing the killer were definitely not calming me. That girl drove me crazy!She had just suffered a trauma, I had no clue what memory she accessed when her eyes gla
Hello all, HOW ARE YOU??Also are you following me on I*******m yet? @womanonrampage . Find me a drop a DM or a comment on my post. I have met a few of you there, and you guys are the best!!!Let's do this then, gimme a cheer? Epilogue!3 years down the lane:"Oh my God!

You wanted to do this in the first place.""Gosh just keep moving your fingers!""I am! Yes, baby! Yes!"I finally threw my game controller on the couch beside me, with a satisfactory grin on my face."Take that, you Hastings! I win!"Colton rolled his eyes, "I let you win Smith"I snorted at that, a fun fact I had learned over the year, every time he lost he would act if he sacrificed his absolutely guaranteed win for me. "Yeah okay okay baby, okay" I teased, spreading my feet vertically, getting comfortable on the couch.Colton of course can't see me in any sort of comfort
The last chapter! Thank you for sticking around and being so awesome. Thank you for reading it all and tolerating the errors and flaws. I really hope you enjoyed this book! And hopefully you weren't a silent reader. Love ya! -- Chapter 34 - Why are you not naked? ~~~ "What do you think you are doing?" I jumped at the sudden sound, pressing a palm to my heat. "Dammit Colton, you scared me." I muttered turning around to face him. I almost stumbled back at the view, Colton stood there, proudly exhibiting his naked glory. I swallowed, hard, vivid images from yesterday's night invading my mind. The way he moans, screams, and gasps I muffled with a kiss. The way I took pleasure in his bliss. Head titled back and toes curled with joy, I felt a thrill run through me. I knew I wanted to do all of it, again and again, I was in deep trouble, oh boy! Colton stalked towards me, his eyes barely leaving mine. "What are you wearing?" I blinked at the question and looked down at my outfi
The story is ending....:( But on the brighter side, this chapter is naughty! So, you'll like it :P Intimate scenes ahead, you are warned. Proceed with caution. -- Chapter 33 - Make me scream again. ~~~ The funeral was torture. Everyone dressed in black with teary faces and a miserable body language, even the weather seemed to cooperate, it was drizzling lightly putting a gloomy envelope over us. It wasn't my first time attending a funeral, I had attended one, my own father's, 4 years back. And though that one was fake, I was sure this one wasn't because this was an open casket and I could see the silent pale dead body. I gulped, feeling my tears in the eyelids, I blinked them off. Looking around I realized I knew quite a few people. My eyes stopped as they landed on my father's rigid body, his eyes strained on the coffin. People talked beside him but he was too focused on the dead body to listen to their words. As if sensing my gaze, he looked up, sending me a sad smile. I b
Chapter 32 - One day we'll get married and have kids. ~~~ Hospitals and I didn't have much contact, the only time I had visited one was when Josh thought it would be funny to jump on the bed and ended up falling and spraining his wrist and ankle. But right now, right here, the huge white hallway felt too small, almost suffocating. The distinctive smell of chlorine didn't help at all. Everything seemed so blurry, my eyes couldn't focus on anything. Nurses dressed in pale blue rushed with plates, hardly glancing anywhere else. The speaker in the hospital called for some doctor for an emergency. A kid shouted some distance apart and was instantly scolded by his mother to shut up. Somebody let out a pained cry and instantly there were whispers of consolidation. I gripped the handle of my seat tightly, swallowing the ball of fear. My eyes closed and I hoped I would never have to come to a hospital again. "You fine?" I jumped up a bit, startled, and looked at Simone. I couldn't even no
Welcome to another chapter of ADWTD! Chapter 31. - The bleeding won't stop! ~~~ Finding my voice after a few seconds, I found the courage to utter the word to the person I never thought I would see again. "Dad?" "Well isn't this joy? Now I get to shot father and daughter." Angelo said, smiling like a devil. And then two shots rang through the night. -- "Don't talk to me." "But babe!" "Get lost." "Honey, I am sorry." "Go pee on yourself." "Very mature." Mom looked through hooded eyes at my dad. "Really Ashton? Do you really want to set fire to my anger?" Dad raised his hands, shook his head wisely, and took a good step away from her. Mom rolled her eyes, giving dad another stink look, and went and stood beside Liam. I wanted to shout, scream, scold them to stop acting like children and start realizing the deep shit that we were in but I had basically lost my voice or the will to speak. We were all huddled up in mom's room at my place, seeking comfort from each other, and
New! New! New! Previously on ADWTD: Everyone took a step back, eyebrows furrowing. "The killer is a am butler?" Liam asked confusedly. "That doesn't make any sense." Colton was still staring at his hand before his head snapped up, his eyes twinkling with excitement and a huge grin forming on his face, showing off his perfect teeth. "It's not 'The killer is a am butler.'" He said, delight at solving the last clue evident on his face. "It is 'The killer is A M butler' Abel Mackenzie's butler!" "Holy shit!" Josh breathed out. Holy shit indeed. Chapter 30 - Too much trash, way too much. ~~~ "So let me get this straight." Simone started, keeping the Pringles can on the table and looking at me with a flat smile. "You went to the cemetery, dug up your dad's coffin, made friends with some Magic Mike-" "Just Mike actually." Mike started but shut up at Simone's glare. "-solved a clue from 4 years back, found out the real killer. And didn't care to call me? Excuse me, while I go and s
New New New! What's your hobby? Chapter 29 - I can become a male stripper. ~~~ "What in the lord's name is happening here!?" The voice was demanding, extremely pissed off, authoritative, and oh so familiar. I turned slowly, my headache increasing along with my heartbeat. I gulped as my lips whispered with shock, surprise, and terror. "Mom." Behind me, I could hear Colton standing up, equally scared. "And Liam." Mike joined us too but his attention was on something else. "And a gun." "Mom." I whispered in horror, staring at the gun in Liam's hand and then at my mostly fuming yet a bit scared mother. She stepped forward, Liam right behind her. "Don't you dare mom me. Digging up your father's grave, your own father's grave!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? DID I RAISE YOU LIKE THIS? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WERE YOU EVEN THINKING!!?" Unlike typical heroes, Colton wasn't ahead of protecting me. Instead, he was behind me, using me as a shield. Some boyfriend he is. "Um, there's a gun." He
Chapter 27 was merged with chapter 26 in the last one. So this is a continution, don't be too shocked and worried. Chapter 28 - One might think I am in love with you. ~~~ Racheal's POV We both bend down and grabbed the handle. "One, two..." I counted. "...And open." As soon as the coffin open, we fell back, gasped, and blinked again and again and again, not believing the sight in front of us. Colton finally found his voice, shaken and broken. "W-why is the coffin empty?" I shook her head with disbelief. "Where the hell is my father's body!?" I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't. I mean we did bury my father, at least we think we did but apparently not. Admittedly we didn't get to see his body but that was because they claimed it was burnt and in tiny pieces which shouldn't be seen unless you want to vomit and faint. Dad always wanted to be buried so we didn't do a cremation. But this, this was a shock. Was nothing in my life real anymore? Fake relationship, fake boyfriend
